"I jumped in head first because I knew that someday I would tell my kids to take chances, live their dreams and go for it in life. In the end I will be remembered for my impact driven actions, not my unfulfilled dreams."

How it worked: What do you get when you combine a strong leader with a brand that works every day to grow the cleanest and best products in the cannabis industry? You get Mindful. Todd became interested in this brand (formerly known as Gaia) and was fascinated by the team and the passion with which this team executed. After meeting the company's dynamic CEO, Meg Sanders, he decided to work to guide this company's brand change in the most efficient and effective way possible. By engaging all employees input, Meg's vision, and the overall deep level of intentionality, Todd was able to take a word like mindful and turn it into a proper noun.

The end result: a new Mindful brand that elevated the stature of this company. In addition, Todd brought in key PR contacts to launch the new brand on shows such as 60 minutes and more.

Problem Solved: Mindful is dedicated to cultivating the best cannabis products possible in an organic manner and now all the world knows them as MINDFUL!

HIGH THERE!

"The world's first global social network for cannabis enthusiasts."

How it worked: In this company Todd co-founded and worked as the CEO taking this brand from zero to over 170k users in less than seven months with over 350 global news stories. By designing every aspect of the team, structure, hiring the tech team and working on the massive media presence, Todd was able to build a viable company that was exciting for investors. Investment capital raised exceeded $1mil in the first 8 months. High There! continues to be a growing force in the social media space.

Problem Solved: High There! solved the problem of connecting the millions of cannabis consumers around the world who, up until now, did not have a voice.

How it worked: When Todd joined O.penVAPE the company was just starting out. In just a short 9 months, Todd built structure, culture, hired new key team members, built the inside sales function, worked to raise the bar for company products, and designed key PR initiatives which catapulted O.pen to "Largest brand in Cannabis" status. To this day the groundwork executed by Todd continues to impact O.pen and it remains a top brand in the cannabis industry.

Problem Solved: At the time, O.penVAPE solved the problem of how to discreetly vaporize small controllable amounts of cannabis. Todd's work took them to a national brand status, among the first in cannabis to achieve this.

Coalition for Responsible Cannabis Production

How it worked: Todd and his business partners conceived of and founded The Coalition for Responsible Cannabis Production, a nationally focused organization which promotes the establishment of production standards industry wide. The CRCP is based on the premise that the cannabis industry must step forward in a role to promote self-regulation in a responsible and realistic way. Our key focus is with regard to individual Attorneys General, recognizing their role as the chief law enforcement officials in each state. To that end, these individuals serve as final arbiters within the individual states in the absence of a federal policy regarding cannabis.
